Abdominal trauma causes vomiting, abdominal distension, what to do?

Question
Hello doctor,
My father fell in a car and injured his abdomen, affecting his pancreas. Currently eating in and out. If you don't vomit, your stomach will swell. It's been 2 weeks but it's still not getting better and it's getting worse. I hope the doctor can help me with an abdominal injury that causes vomiting and bloating, what to do? Thank you doctor.

Hello friend,
With the question “What should I do if abdominal trauma causes vomiting and bloating?” , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Pancreas is an organ located deep in the abdomen. When you have an injury, it means you have a strong impact on your abdomen or back. Injury to the pancreas will have different symptoms depending on the severity. After 2 weeks of trauma, there are still symptoms of vomiting after eating, this is an unusual symptom because the injured pancreas is not stable or there are complications in the pancreas after trauma. Patients need to be re-examined at medical facilities specializing in digestive and hepatobiliary diseases to re-evaluate the pancreatic injury.
If you still have questions about vomiting, abdominal distension, you can take your father to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
